Re: Modifying a Steinberger SS-2F Well, I got the parts last week but I haven't had a chance to wire it up yet. However, while waiting for those parts I've been reading the site a lot (I was absent for a while) and came across the discussions of the Fishman Fluence pickups. The Classic model...

I recently picked up a Steinberger SS-2F (not the multi-scale length model) and would like to make a pickup and wiring change. The form factor is great, the neck is the size I like (a bit chunky but not a baseball bat - maybe a bit smaller than the "59" neck), and it hangs well (a lot of travel...

Does anybody know what the taper ratio of the SD Bourns log pots is? The standard Bourns pots is 90:10 - the first 50% of rotation covers 90% of the resistance and the second 50% covers the remaining 10% of the resistance. http://www.bourns.com/data/global/pdfs/PDB241-GTR.pdf This is too fast...
